BURBANK, Calif. A regional supermarket chain announced the opening of its 150th store, including 10 additional new store openings this month.

Fresh & Easy said its 150th store, which opened in Burbank, Calif., is one of four stores that opened this week in California.

"We started just over two years ago with a simple idea –– every neighborhood deserves access to fresh, wholesome food at affordable prices. We're happy to have become a part of 150 neighborhoods so far and to have created so many good, local jobs," said Fresh & Easy CEO Tim Mason. "Celebrating our 150th store is a wonderful milestone and we're excited to continue opening even more stores in all types of neighborhoods."

In the next two weeks, Fresh & Easy plans seven more store openings in California and Arizona. The chain also operates stores in Nevada.
